That is why I suggested that registry key, you can sort of cheat it. Maybe
you need to remove the folder as well and change
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\ClientState\{8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96}
As well.
If you decrement the version beyond the current dev\stable\beta version, it
will try to install it (on the next Google Update cycle, maybe). I think
successfully.
